TrueFlame 14" x 17.5" Griddle Plate TF-GP-14 - 7-Gauge 304 Stainless Steel

Which grills does the TF-GP-14 work on?

All TrueFlame branded grills. It sits on top of the cooking grates rather than replacing any part of the grill, so there is nothing to install.

What are the exact dimensions and weight?

13.7" wide, 17.56" deep and 2.4" high, at roughly 14 pounds. It is listed as a 14" x 17.5" plate, so measure against the actual figures if your grate area is tight.

How thick is the steel?

7-gauge 304 stainless steel. That is a heavy plate for its size, which is where most of the 14 pounds comes from.

Where does the grease go?

Into a built-in grease trap that channels drippings off the surface. That is the difference between a griddle plate and a sheet of steel laid across the grates.

Do I need to take my cooking grates out first?

No. The plate rests securely over the grates as they are, so you can move between grilling and griddling in the same session.

Why does the gauge matter on a griddle?

Thin plate drops temperature the moment cold food hits it. The 7-gauge construction here holds and distributes heat evenly, which is what keeps a row of smash burgers searing instead of steaming.

What is it actually good for?

Breakfast, smash burgers, stir-fries and seafood, plus anything small enough to fall through the grates. It is designed, tested and made in the USA. Other options sit in griddle plates.
